PR3302 - Engineering Materials Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University

Engineering Materials deals with the semester III subject of Anna University B.E Production Engineering syllabus. In this article, we try to provide the unit-wise syllabus for academic purposes in one place.

We started to analyze the situation of students who are often confused about the syllabus. What are the topics do they include in the syllabus? In this article, you can simply find the detailed syllabus of the semester III PR3302 – Engineering Materials. I hope this information is useful. We also provide the required books and references regarding the subject especially.

If you want to know more about the syllabus of B.E. Production Engineering and Management connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E. Production Engineering and Management Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.

Aim Of Concept:

  1. To impart knowledge on the various microstructural features of metallic materials.
  2. To illustrate the role of heat treatment on microstructure and properties.
  3. To desire the various non-ferrous alloys and their applications.
  4. To introduce the concepts of mechanical behaviour of the materials.
  5. To describe the properties and applications of polymers and ceramics.
